Kids Sew Camp - Level 2
This intermediate camp is for young sewists who have finished Kids Sewing Camp Level 1 or who sew regularly and are comfortable with a machine and basic techniques. Participants should already be able to thread a sewing machine, wind bobbins, understand common sewing terms, and read a measuring tape. Students will complete three projects at an intermediate level with full instruction. All supplies and materials are included, and machines are provided for use. Additional fabric kits will be available for purchase at the end of camp. Parents are asked to send children well-rested. A lidded water bottle may be brought, and a light snack will be provided. If your child has food allergies, please send an appropriate snack. For the best learning environment, parents do not remain in the classroom, and organizers will contact you immediately if needed. Please ensure cell phones are silenced during class. Instruction is led by Nadine Newman. The cost is $169.00.
